I think all white people have been touched as kids and they joke about rape to deflect

Where were you guys in the mid to late 00s? This cheesy, over the top, white boy humor was extremely common up until a few years ago. This shyt isn't funny but it's not surprising in the least. There was a point in time where the only thing that was off limits was the N word and being an actual pedo. That 25 years between about 1985 and 2010 were wild times in television/media looking back.

Idk about all this with the comedians. :patrice: Most of em are fukked up. I’m sure they’ve all done shyt like this that they thought was edgy and funny, but just didn’t land at all at one time or another. Louis CK admits to being a fukkin weirdo sexually in every stand up he’s done. Once someone confirmed it, it became a whole thing.

This video is weird as shyt and not funny, but I bet if he just made a joke about it on stage instead of a video, it wouldn’t be an issue. Idk where the line is gonna end up being. I just hope it doesn’t turn comedy into safe, shytty, Melissa McCarthy shyt.

But anyway, I don’t give a fukk what happens to this dude and rick and morty. Long as they don’t scrub the first 4 seasons of community from existence, I’m good.

Knowing the creator of Rurouni Kenshin was a CP collector doesnt make the Battousai any less badass :manny:

Mans is disgusting tho :scust:

Finding that shyt out hurt my soul. Can't read this new series anymore because of that.

Even more fukked up is how lax Japan is with shyt like that. All he essentially got was a fine for having dvds worth of footage of underage girls like WTF?? :mindblown: I seriously don't understand the lolita complex in Japan.

‘Rick and Morty’ Co-Creator Dan Harmon Apologizes For “Distasteful” 2009 Video, Will Remain On Hit Adult Swim Series

Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon and Adult Swim on Monday night issued statements about the disturbing video that surfaced over the weekend. It featured a skit from a 2009 Harmon pilot called Daryl, a spoof of Showtime’s serial killer drama Dexter,in which he appears to be raping a baby doll.

“In 2009, I made a “pilot” which strove to parody the series Dexter and only succeeded in offending. I quickly realized the content was way too distasteful and took the video down immediately,” Harmon said. “Nobody should ever have to see what you saw and for that, I sincerely apologize.”

In a statement of its own, Adult Swim distanced itself from the offensive content, saying that it “does not reflect the type of content we seek out.” The network stopped short of reprimanding Harmon, noting that he “recognized his mistake at the time and has apologized.” I hear Harmon is continuing on the show.
Rick and Morty has been hugely successful, ranking not only as Adult Swim’s top series but as the highest rated cable comedy series and the second biggest entertainment series on ad-supported cable behind The Walking Dead. After lengthy negotiations, the animated comedy, created by Harmon and Justin Roiland, recently received a massive 70-episode renewal.

“At Adult Swim, we seek out and encourage creative freedom and look to push the envelope in many ways, particularly around comedy,” an Adult Swim spokesperson said. “The offensive content of Dan’s 2009 video that recently surfaced demonstrates poor judgement and does not reflect the type of content we seek out. Dan recognized his mistake at the time and has apologized. He understands there is no place for this type of content here at Adult Swim.”

The video featuring the scene from Daryl, which debuted in 2009 during a monthly comedy sketch festival called Channel 101, surfaced on conservative/right-wing blogs, which is also where information of decade-old tweets about rape by Guardians of the Galaxy writer-director James Gunn first got out before spreading online and leading to Gunn’s firing by Disney, Harmon deleted his Twitter account in the immediate aftermath of the appalling video’s release on Sunday.
